superstar! (well momemtarily!)

Playing with shadows on the wall of the roof terrace atop of my liitle
old town house in Competa, Calle San Antonio in the early evening(in
spain) Although it was quite orange , i tightened up the levels of
this image in photoshop and also added the little ole' 'rock star'
light from the top corner!! ... ..... Had too!

I really like the way that the arm is present and ambiguous. It's sort of like the way that Disability Rights looks at disability from a social model- that society itself makes physical differences into inability through structure and attitudes. But here, the shorter arm is both interesting in its lack of definitiveness, and points out how different bodies can be as beautiful/artistic as typical ones, at the same time challenging the norms of what it means to be a "superstar." And yet, the viewer is wondering whether or not the subject is actually disabled- and if lucky, comes to the realization that it doesn't matter as much as people think it should.

This is such a frigging awesome photo! I have used it briefly in my latest music video. I hope you don't mind. I have fully credited you! You can watch it here if you're interested: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBSZBf3SKLU
